You press the disconnect button to eject a removal device. And if the ejected device is shown that view will change to first available drive letter. Usually C:\

That is strange because MC is using Windows subsystem to read/write bytes, Then it must be something else that locks it up.

But if you create a dump of MC when it hangs and sent it to me I can take a look at that and might be able to see what it waits for.

When the hang has happen start Task Manager, Go to the Details tab and right click on the MultiCommander.exe process and select "Create Dump File"

A path will be shown where task manager have saved the dump file..  (This path can be copied to the clipboard )
Since this file can be very big compress it with Zip or 7Zip or something and then upload it at
http://multicommander.com/upload/

Support and Feedback / Re: Right Click Shell looks odd, rename behave strange, look 'n feel messed all up

« on: June 23, 2013, 11:23:19 »

If you are running Explorer Style setup then the context menu is shown on right click.
With Commander styled setup it is on Right Button Click and Hold.. (Hold down for 2-3 sec) and on Double click with right button..

And yes the right click action will change when doing "Quick Look'n'Feel setup" but it also changes a lot of other settings.
(Just make sure that the settings panel is not opened when you do it. because the settings panel will not magically update it self )

Not sure that the issue with rename is. How are you renaming ?
This ways will do inline rename without popup..
Shift+F6  (Commander style)
Click and wait and then change the name
Rename action from the Context Menu

You can however get a popup message if there is a name conflict..

When this happens it is often a hardware, filesystem or driver issue.. (Or AV software or other program that hook it self into the subsystem, But not so likely.)

MC is using Windows to read/write data. and if Windows has problem reading/writing the data or something happens that prevent it from returning.
The copy operation will hang and it can not be aborted since MC is waiting for the Windows Subsystem to return.
You can press Ctrl+L and check the File Operation log for any errors but I guess you will not find any error there. (Because then you should have been shown a error window )

Also If windows is self has detected any error you might find information about that in the Windows Event Log (Use Event viewer, and look for errors in the Application and System log)

You can also use the "Resource Monitor" in Windows 7/8 to see if another program reads the same file.

Maybe are is a permission problem. Normal Users account have limited access in C:\Program Files.
Try start MC as Admin so everything in MC get full access and not just the "retry as admin" that only allows some of the operations to run as admin.

Not sure what the problem might be. 
Are you sure that the program is not running is some files are locked or that some other program locks them ?

If you do Ctrl+L you see a log window.. Look in the file operations log tab, it might give more information on why it is happening. also you can increse the loglevel so it logs more under
Menu > Configuration > Core Settings > Logging (Tab)

Very Strange

Something must be blocking it from being written.
If it was AV software then it should popup an say something.

You can download the portable version and unpack it in that location and then remove "config/MultiCommander.xml"
(Then it will not be configured as portable anymore, and should read your old config files stored under your user account )

Maybe MC was not completely turned off when the update started? And it failed to replace files. ?
If it can not replace mcadmin.exe (or someother files. ) it is because either you do not have permission to delete the files or the progream is running or locked by some external program.

Delete all files inside the MultiCommander folder, and make sure everything is gone.
If you can not delete some files check process tab in taskmanager and makesure that the file is not running.

Then start "Program and features" from the control panel in Windows and select "MultiCommander" and right click on it on select "uninstall"
but since the file is gone it will say that it can not find it and you be asked if you want to remove it from the list. Say Yes, and it will be removed from the program list.
Uou can now reinstall MultiCommander again from the installer

Script / Re: How to close all tabs?

« on: June 19, 2013, 08:16:09 »

For the next version I will add

Code: [Select]

MC.CloseAllTabs
MC.CloseAllTabs LEFTONLY
MC.CloseAllTabs RIGHTONLY
And since it is under the core "MC" namespace it will close ALL of them. Even search tabs or other extensions, and It does not need to be handled async.

MC currently does not support virtual folders like libraries. Since they are not real folder. MC only shows the real layout of the filesystem.
But some support for the virtual folders are planed.

Script / Re: How to close all tabs?

« on: June 19, 2013, 06:59:36 »

Hmm too bad..
Think is is because CloseAll is sent as an async operation. and since the script is running in main thread it is not processed until script ends.

Script / Re: How to close all tabs?

Maybe

However, It closes all Explorer Panel tabs, It will not close Search tabs.

Yes. as I said. some keys can not be changed because of technical reasons. A workaround is to create a new command and from that command call the old internal command. And the map the new command to the key you want.

• Right click on column header and select set current layout as default. or go into column customization and change the with of the column.
• Tab color can not be change at the moment.
• In color customization make sure that "use file(folder) specified background colors" is set. Then the background color for every item can be overwritten
• Like what the "insert" key does ? There is a "Toggle selection and move to next item" command. try assign space to that.
• Ctrl+T is duplicate tab and if there is no tab to duplicate., It can not duplicate it. There is a command under Explorer Panel called "New - Explorer Panel". Assign a key to that and it add it for you
• Dependsy. Some key combination does not work so good in some places because of technical issues.
• Ctrl+F7 (for command styled setup) or you can change it. Or you can also use script to preload the search with options and filters.
